In Erinnerung an <Brian Harley <(27.10.1883–18.5.1955)>> vergibt unsere Britische Schwestergesellschaft im zweijährigen Rhythmus den <Brian-Harley-Award> für einen herausragenden Zweizüger eines britischen (oder aus dem Commonwealth stammenden) Komponisten. Gewürdigt wird damit nicht nur die Leistung des jeweiligen Komponisten, sondern es wird auch die Erinnerung an den vor 125 Jahren geborenen Zweizügerexperten wachgehalten, der sich über 36 Jahre publizistisch für die Verbreitung des Problemschachs im allgemeinen und des Zweizügers im besonderen verdient gemacht hat. Neben seinen Spalten im Observer und anderen Zeitungen gab er auch Problemsammlungen heraus, zuletzt das 1958 posthum erschienene Werk <The Modern Two-Move Chess Problem>, das von Harley kommentierte Comins Mansfield-Kompositionen enthält.

  MissScarlett: Jacques Davidson was a member of the City of London CC in 1914. Harley joined the club in October 1914, but Davidson may already have returned to Holland at the outbreak of war.
